Compared to last week: Choice slaughter steers 1.00-2.00 higher. Heavy steers over 1500 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Choice slaughter heifers 2.00-3.00 higher with limited numbers this week. Many load lots of mostly heavy steers, dairy steers and dairy cross steers, along with plenty of smaller packages in the offering today. Demand good, especially on the load lots. Slaughter cows: Not enough Breaker or Boner cows for comparison. Lean cows steady to 2.00 lower. Limited bulls, no comparison.

Slaughter lambs: Lambs 80 lbs 14.00 lower, 110 lbs 1.00 lower, 120 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher, 130-140 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, 150 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter ewes 10.00-20.00 lower, with instances 20.00-25.00 lower.
